// THE CROWD VOTES. YOU DECIDE.

THE CROWD SHAPES THE SET.
HERE'S HOW.

You find out what the room wants before you get there, and how it shifts while you play. Audience members vote on genre, energy and requests from a QR code — no app, no sign-up — and it lands on your dashboard in under a second.

// HOW IT WORKS

THREE STEPS. ZERO FRICTION.

1
SET UP THE NIGHT
The Artist/DJ configures a genre ballot and energy labels on the dashboard. A unique QR code is generated automatically.
2
CROWD SCANS AND VOTES
The vote card loads instantly in the browser — no download, no login. Pick a genre, set the energy, request a song.
3
READ THE ROOM IN REAL TIME
Results update live — genre breakdown, energy level, requests. The next round starts with one click.

YOUR TOOL. YOUR BRAND. YOUR DATA.

Venue music systems belong to the venue. CROWDCTRL is yours — your name on the vote card, your QR code on the floor, your crowd data in your dashboard. Take it to every gig, no venue contract required.

BUILD THE SET WITH THEM, NOT FOR THEM.

Turn on Pre-Event Mode and the couple, the HR team or the host sends through song and genre requests before the day — you build the set list together, in consultation with them, then read the room live once the crowd's actually dancing.

CROWDCTRL Pre-Event Mode — guest song requests and genre spread ahead of the day
  • →Pre-Event Mode — collect song & genre requests ahead of time, in consultation with the client
  • →Live on the night — energy reads and last-minute requests without breaking the mic
  • →Your brand, every gig — no venue contract required
  • →Earn tips via Ko-fi, integrated into the vote card
✓
Optional guest opt-in — guests can tick a box to leave their contact details for future event leads. Always off by default; requires explicit consent, per our Privacy Policy.

THE FLOOR VOTES. YOU HEADLINE.

The floor votes the style and energy of your set while you're mixing it — you read it on your dashboard and steer the next twenty minutes on evidence instead of guesswork. Running the night yourself? The same rounds work as a pre-event promo hook.

  • →Promoter-run vote rounds — set up and lock each round from the dashboard
  • →Crowd-driven genre & energy — not one-off song requests
  • →Shareable result cards — built for socials, round by round
  • →Any genre, any night, any venue

LIVE OR PRE-RECORDED — LISTENERS SHAPE IT EITHER WAY.

Don't do requests on air, or record your shows ahead of time? Run the vote before you hit record — listeners weigh in on era, style and energy, you get a customisable dashboard of what landed, and shape the next episode around it. Streaming live gets the same voting plus a real-time OBS overlay.

  • →Works live or pre-recorded — same voting, with an OBS overlay if you're streaming

  • →Tipping + branding built into the vote card

// FAQ

STRAIGHT ANSWERS.

DOES THE CROWD NEED AN APP?
No. The QR code opens the vote card in whatever browser is already on their phone — no download, no login, no account.
WHAT IF THE VENUE WIFI IS BAD?
The vote card is a lightweight page, so it loads fine on mobile data. Nothing is streamed or uploaded from the crowd's phones.
WHAT DO I NEED TO RUN IT?
A phone, tablet or laptop for the dashboard, and a QR code the room can see — a poster, a screen, or your stream overlay.
WHAT IF NOBODY VOTES?
Nothing breaks. The dashboard shows the round as it stands and you carry on. One prompt on the mic is usually all a room needs.
DOES THE VENUE HAVE TO APPROVE IT?
No venue contract is required. It's your QR code, your dashboard and your data — take it to the next gig with you.
WHAT DOES THE PILOT COST?
Nothing. Founding Pilot Membership is free for 2026, the pilot phase — we're after feedback that shapes the tool.
